Cooper, my daughter, sir—Miss Billsmethi, sir, who I hope will have the pleasure of dancing many a quadrille, minuet, gavotte, country-dance, fandango, double-hornpipe, and farinagholkajingo with you, sir. She dances them all, sir; and so shall you, sir, before you’re a quarter older, sir.’ And Signor Bellsmethi slapped Mr.
“I know, I know that you’re in a fever. You could hardly fail to be, and whatever you may say to me, I know beforehand.
